Smallmouth Bass
Looking to tangle with some smallmouths near Midvale, Utah? Your best bet is heading to the Jordan River or nearby reservoirs like Utah Lake or Deer Creek. While the Jordan River can offer some surprisingly good fishing in its deeper pools and slower sections, the reservoirs will give you the chance at bigger fish. Smallmouth fishing generally heats up in late spring and continues through the fall as the water warms. Focus on rocky shorelines, submerged structure, and points where the river flows into the reservoirs. A local tip for the Jordan River: access can be tricky in some spots, so scout out access points along the Jordan River Parkway Trail. As for Utah Lake or Deer Creek, check the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources website for current lake levels and boat ramp conditions before you go. The smallmouth in this area tend to be aggressive, so don't be afraid to throw crankbaits, spinnerbaits, or tube jigs.
